      Organizing Import Statements
    </h1>
    <p>
      In this section you will organize the import declarations in your source
      code.&nbsp; Open <em>junit.samples/VectorTest.java</em> file in the Java
      editor if you do not already have it open.
    </p>

    <ol>
      <li>By default, import declarations are hidden in the Outline view. 
      Select <strong>View Menu &gt; Filters...</strong> and un-check <strong>Import declarations</strong>. 
      Click <strong>OK</strong> to make them visible in the Outline view.     
      </li>
      <li>Delete the import declarations by selecting them in the Outline view
      and selecting <strong>Delete</strong> from the context menu. Confirm the
      resulting dialog with <strong>Yes</strong>. You will see numerous
      compile warnings in the vertical ruler since the types used in the
      method are no longer imported.

      </li>
      <li>From the context menu in the editor, select <strong>Source &gt;

      Organize Imports</strong>. The required import statements are added to
      the beginning of your code below the package declaration.
